I just heard from a great resource for self-publishing, Kristen Eckstein, there are some 'big' players who are giving the advise to place your affiliate links to items on Amazon that fit your books topic..(sounds like a great idea to me).

Well, Kristen, remembered hearing something about this not being allowed so, smart cookie that she is, she asked Amazon!

Here is Amazon's response and Kristen's remarks:

Here is Amazon’s reply:

Hello,

You are correct, Associate Links, Widget, and the aStore URL, can only be embedded in approved Internet websites, andare Not permittedto be used in e-mails,e-books/Kindle Books, newsletters, or in any other off-line manner.

We would be happy to investigate the matter further, please use the link below to provide us the URL of the website, or the Kindle book in question, and we will take action on the offending member.

We look forward in hearing back from you, and thank you for reporting this to the Associates Program.

Best regards,

There you have it, straight from the horse’s mouth. Stay safe, keep Associate/Amazon affiliate links out of your Kindle books, and be aware that readers may report you and you may lose your publishing privileges for breaching this term of service.

So what about other affiliate links in Kindle books? Yes, the terms of service are for Amazon Associates affiliate program, not Amazon Kindle, so you can use other affiliate links in eBooks.

There are many ways to create a book besides sitting down and writing it.

One of the easy methods I use is to interview you and then edit the transcript.

You then have a working manuscript. Because you know your subject you will easily be able to see where you want to add or delete material.

However, I don't believe you truly can not write…I believe you just have the belief that you can't write.

We have heard all the horror stories about writer's block…rejection letters – hundreds before you got 'lucky'…the thousands of dollars spent for boxes of books to mold in your garage…published authors whose lives have run amuck – yikes! No wonder you 'can't' write!!

Isn't it interesting that we know all the 'bad' stories and forget the great ones?

The author who self-published and with a little promotion exploded her exposure and her business AND has wonderful life harmony? Doesn't sell newspapers…

You CAN release the beliefs and points of view that are stopping you from even getting started. How do I know? Because I did it myself.

Just a short while ago Amazon allowed almost anything to be published for Kindle. They were filling the 'shelves' at Kindle. Now, however, they are being more selective.

Their new agreement states that material that is freely available on line is not allowed to be published on Kindle. Now you can try it but when it is discovered your entire account can be banned. It isn't worth it!

But, it is not difficult to make current material unique by beefing up the material or combining two or more shorter pieces to create a great book for Kindle.

If you have a really great piece, and I know there are lots of you out there because I have your reports myself, consider removing it as a free piece and publishing it to Kindle. Breath new life into your offerings.

Why would I want to put a formerly free report on Kindle?

That's a fair question. When done properly, a Kindle book will not only appear highly in Amazon searches, but, because Google LOVES Amazon…YOUR Kindle formatted message can return as #1 – #10 of a GOOGLE search!!

If you have been marketing on-line for any length of time you know that getting a high Google return is vital if you are to be found by searchers.

You also know that you can have the most wonderful message in the world but if you don’t have traffic your message can’t get to those who need it most.

Amazon has massive traffic searching their site hourly. When your Kindle book is positioned properly that traffic will find YOU!!

Plus, you are getting paid to find new clients…how great is that!!

We are at the threshold of the next big wave. We have been hearing about digital media for the last few years. During this time it was still so new and different that only the very adventurous jumped on board.

Recently Wal-Mart decided it wanted in on the wave and negotiated with Amazon to offer Kindle readers in their stores…digital media has hit the masses!!

One way my authors publish to Kindle quickly is to repurpose their free reports, transcripts, and e-books. Content they have already produced. Works published on Kindle must be original works not freely available on the web, so re-writes of your current offerings are in order. This will give new life to your previously produced work.

Having Amazon and its best friend, Google, marketing for you will put your book and your business in front of millions! Think about what this can mean for you.
